The findings of this study are presented
in the main body of the report on a country-by country basis
in alphabetical order. For each country, a brief overview of
the environmental accounting system in terms of the scope,
frequency of update, length of time series, and any other
relevant information regarding the accounts making up the
system is given. This is followed by a table listing each of
the accounts that make up the system and describing them in
terms of the basic information noted above (name, frequency,
and so on). The summary table is then followed by in-depth
descriptions of the most policy-relevant users and uses for
each country. The purpose of these descriptions is to show
who is using the accounts and for what purpose and how the
uses are related to policy. For the most part, the
discussion around these points is factual and drawn directly
from the material collected during the research for the
study. In addition, comments are offered in various places
regarding the features of the accounts that may make them
appealing to their users. These comments are the opinion of
the author and are based on his experience developing
environmental accounts in Canada and internationally. |
